Wildlife Activities at Peaceful Paddocks
At Peaceful Paddocks, wildlife exploration offers a serene opportunity to observe an abundance of flowers, plants, and native wildlife in their natural habitats. The paddocks hold a variety of wildflowers that bloom throughout the seasons, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Mature trees and diverse shrubbery provide shelter and food for birds, small mammals, and insects, fostering a balanced ecosystem for children to explore.
At Peaceful Paddocks, the wildlife education sessions for children can include:
Guided nature walks around the paddocks, where the instructor introduces various native species and their habitats.
Children observe birds, insects, and small mammals in their natural environment, learning about their behaviours and roles in the ecosystem.
The session includes hands-on activities such as examining animal tracks, listening to bird calls, and identifying plants commonly found in the area.
Encouraging the young people and children to consider how they can help protect wildlife in their own communities.
Pond dipping activities
The session may conclude with a creative activity, such as drawing their favourite animal or building simple bird feeders to take home, fostering a lasting connection with nature. Throughout the session, emphasis is placed on respect for the environment and the importance of biodiversity, promoting awareness and curiosity in an engaging, age-appropriate manner.
